For many years I have been collecting the city chronicle of Barcelona. I visit the city archives and bookstores, where I sometimes find unexpected surprises in the form of interesting incidents, which are already forgotten by modern guidebooks.

A walk through medieval Barcelona will be interesting for both adults and children.

I will tell you what is under the central point of the city, why in old Barcelona you had to have a "bronze" nose, how Barcelona is connected with the daughter of the last Roman emperor, who protected Barcelona from epidemics, why Barcelona erected a monument to the pirate, where there was a debate between Christians and Jews and what is common between the fortress wall of Barcelona and the US Congress.

We will see the street where the first bankrupts of Barcelona worked, the tower in which the last Muslim ruler of the city lived, and the building built according to the rules of astrology.

This tour does not have a clearly defined route, each time I tell different legends and show different places. In a few hours, it is simply impossible to visit all the interesting corners of old Barcelona, so each tour takes place depending on the age, interests and endurance of my tourists.

The tour is accompanied by illustrations of the most interesting characters and episodes from the life of Barcelona.
